Had a great chat with the GOG gods at PAX, we have a plan about the add ons for old origin games, hope it works out!

Thats awesome news, I have never really looked at GoG before, other than in passing, but you can bet I am signing up for an account even as I type this

After they released Privateer I bought several game packs from GOG. Replayed all the King's and Police Quest games. I'd never completed KQ4 (because it was never released for the Mac) so it was nice to fill that gap.
